The old man opened the bamboo tube and took out the slip of paper inside.
"Huh! The Taro Dynasty actually deployed the giant whale navy?"
Upon seeing the contents of the paper, the old man couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Headed north? They're actually moving in the same direction as us!" the old man mused.
The giant whale navy is the elite navy of the Taro Dynasty, and it hasn't embarked on a long voyage for many years. Now that it suddenly set sail, it puzzled the old man a bit.
"Yuan Ke, what do you think their target is? Surely, they're not here to capture this old man, are they?" the old man asked.
The burly man standing beside him, who was Yuan Ke, twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Master, even if they wanted to catch you, they wouldn't need to deploy the giant whale navy!"
The old man glared at him, "Are you saying that I am not worth deploying the giant whale navy for?"
